I heartily concur. Thanks for taking it on.
You'll see some material on samplers scattered throughout.
I kept planning to reorganize the material as soon as we got more than one sampler in place.

We really need to refactor the manual so that we have separate sections describing our samplers/optimizers and their configurations.

I assign myself since I know the most about the samplers.
